Abstract
Abstract of the Invention Leach-resistant antimicrobial fabrics are provided which comprise a non-woven substrate, e.g. cellulose, polyethylene or polypropylene; a non-leachable bioactive amount of a silicone quarternary amine, preferably 3-(trimethoxysilyl)-propyloctadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride; and an organic titanate, preferably triethanolamine titanium chelate. If alcohol and water repeliency are desired properties of the fabric, then the fabric further comprises a fluorocarbon repellent with an optional fluorocarbon extender.
Description
~:~i3'~335 Case ~782 LEACH RESISTANT ANTIMICROBIAL FABRIC
Back~round of the !nvention l This invention relates to a leach resistant antimicrobial fabric and ¦ a process for making such a fabric.
¦ A need exists for a pillow ticking, hospital gown, surgical drape or like product that provides permanent antimicrobial capacity yet the antimicrobial agent is not extractad (leached) from the fabric in use. A
need also exists for such a product that is water and solvent repellent.
,~,r~ A particularly useful antimicrobial agent is DC-Q9-5700 available from Dow Corning Corporation of Midland, Mich. The material is a silicone quaternary amine, chemically 3(trimethoxysilyl)propyloctadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, and is typically supplied in a 42~ sollds solution. This material has been used to protect textiles and inhibit odor-causing bacteria and fungi which contamination may result in odor problems, discoloration and deterioration of these textiles. Application of this type of silicone quaternary amine onto the surface of textiles has been ~ound to inhibit the growth of microorganisms and to aid in the control of the above-mentioned problems. As such it is authorized l by the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States l Government for use on textile surfaces ~EPA No. 34292-1) and it has also been accepted by the Food and Drug Administration of the U.S.
¦ Government for use in medical device/non-drug applications for use with ¦ humans and animals.
Surgical drapes, hospital gowns, pillow ticking and like materials ~ ~ are typically r~ada of non-woven textlles or other non-woven type ~r o~ar~

l ll ! materials. Antimicrobial agent such as DC-Q9 5700 when in dilute water I¦ solution and impregnated into a nonwoven cellulose web having an ¦l acrylic binder reacts slowly with the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose ~ and acrylic binder because of the diluteness. When dried at 320 F. at 1 practical machine running speeds, incornplete cn~sslinking takes place and the antimicrobial agent can be leached out. Crosslinking materials ~! such as melamine formaldehyde have little or no effect on this leaching out problem. In addition, when pigment binder, such as polyvinyl I alcohol, is used in conjunction with the antimicrobial agent in color ~pigment) baths, the binder will leach out under the same conditions as described above. Crosslinkers such as melamine formaldehyde again have little or no effect on this leaching out problem.
Normally, a silicone quaternary amine such as DC:-Q9-5700 needs a l surface that has -Oll funtionality, such as glass~ cellulose or polyester ! fibers. Therefore, it has not previously been possible to apply such a ~! silicone quaternary amine to a nonwoven substrate, such as Il polypropylene, which has no -OH functionality present on the fibers.
,¦ Furthermore, the treatment of a nonwoven fabric with a silicone quaternary amine requires sufficient time and temperature for a proper cure in order to obtain a leach resistant product. Therefore, the treatment of low temperature melting or low temperature softening webs, such as polypropylene fiber or polyethylene fiber webs with the antimicrobial has not previously been possible.
It has previously been found that the addition of a fluoropolymer ¦ to a non-woven fabric impregnated with DC-Q9-5700 will serve to made ¦ the fabric water and alcohol-repellent. This repellency is beneficial in CD5e 2782 1~639:15 that the fabric can then repel body fluids, aicohol and like liquids typically present in a hospital environment.
The requirements for 3 sucessful medical fabric or substrate include the following: ~
1. Bioaetivity-the substrate must be bioactive, that is it should be bactericidal and not merely bacteriostatic. The substrate should preferably achieve about a 95% or better bactericidal effect within one hour O

It has previously been found that the addition of a fluoropolymer ¦ to a non-woven fabric impregnated with DC-Q9-5700 will serve to made ¦ the fabric water and alcohol-repellent. This repellency is beneficial in CD5e 2782 1~639:15 that the fabric can then repel body fluids, aicohol and like liquids typically present in a hospital environment.
The requirements for 3 sucessful medical fabric or substrate include the following: ~
1. Bioaetivity-the substrate must be bioactive, that is it should be bactericidal and not merely bacteriostatic. The substrate should preferably achieve about a 95% or better bactericidal effect within one hour O
2. Non-leachibility-the bioactive material must remain on the iO substrate and not be leaehed from the substrate, but if leaching occurs it must be virtually undetectable, i.e., only less than 0.2 parts per million (0.2ppml from a 8~ inch x 11 inch swatch. Additlonally, when plgment binder Is used In conjunction with the antimicrobial agent in color baths, the binder must remain on the substrate and not be leached out.
Furthermore, if water repellency is a desired property, then the fabric should be water repellent as measured by llNDA) test IST

¦~ Summary of the Invention In the present invention, a leach resistant antimicrobial fabric is provided. The fabric comprises a non-woven substrate; a non-leachable bioactTve amount of a silicone quaternary amine, such as
3-~trimethoxysilyl)-propyloctadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride; and an ¦ or~anic titanate, preferably triethanolamine titanium chelate. If alcohol ¦ and water repellency are desired properties of the fabric, then the fabric further comprises a fluoropolymer repellent with an optional fluorocarbon extender. In accordance with the present invention, l substrates such as cellulose, polypropylene, or polyethylene may be ¦l used.
~ Description of the Preferred Embodiment ¦ Leach-resistant antimicrobial fabrics are provided.
In the process of the invention, a non-woven substrate is directed from a supply reel through a pad bath (the contents of which is explained belowl and passed through a nip roll and squeezed to achieve an overall wet pickup of between about 80 to 225% calculated on the weight of the non-woven substrate. The bath may alternatively be applied by spraying onto the fabric with a kiss roll or other suitable wet processing method.
Suita7~1e non-woven substrates include among others:
cellulose substrates including cellulose/polyester substrates, polyethylene substrates and polypropylene substrates. The preferred substrate is a spunbonded polypropyLene available from Kimberly Clark under the Trademark Evolution 11.
After the bath is applied, the impregnated substrate is dried. The impregnated substrate is preferably dried at practical machine running speeds, about 60 yards a minute, over steam heated drums at between 180F to 320F for a period of approximately 2-10 minutes. The reason for the great variation in drying temperature is due to the particular substrate used.
E'or instance, a polyethylene substrate need.s to be dried at a lower temperature than a polypropylene substrate and a poly-propylene substrate in turn needs to be dried at a lower temperature than a cellulose substrate. An optional step of preliminarily drying the impregnated substrate in a hot forced air oven at about 320F for about 10 seconds may be employed.
The pad bath comprises water and a solids component comprising a bioactive amount of a silicone quaternary amine and an organic titanate.
The preferred silicone quaternary amine bioactive material is a 3-(trimethoxysilyl)-propyloctadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, available from Dow Corning Corporation of Midland, Michigan under the designation DC-5700* (formerly *Trademark n~
~æ~
Q9-5700*), which is described in U.S. Patent ~o. 3,730,701. A

*Trademark - 5a .~
~'26393~i Case 2782 The pre~erred silicone quaternary amine, 3-(trimethoxysilyl)-propyloctadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, is preferably present in the finshed ~abric in an amount of from about 0 . 7% to about 1 . 05% by l weight of the fabric.
¦ Suitable organic titanates include the titanium chelates and more preferably triethanolamine titanium chelate available from DuPont under - ~ the designation Tyzor TEq~ Tyzor TE has the formula:
~oCH2cH2)2Nci-l2 I H2 ~ O ~ oC3H7 CH2CH2N tc~l2c~2oH )2 The preferred organic titanate, triethanolamine titanium chelate, is preferably present in the finshed fabric in an amount of from 0.1 to about 0.759~ by weight of the fabric. The organic titanate, when added in a proportion of S to t596 of the solution nonvolatiles acts as a catalyst and will crosslink the an~imicrobial agent rendering it completely unleachable. In addition, the organic titanate has a dramatic effect in completely eliminatlng the leaching of pigment binder when pigment binder is used in conjunction with the antimicrobial agent in color baths.
Not only does the addition of an organic titanate result in more complete crosslinking of the antimicrobial agent and optionally the pigment binder but it also serves to significantly reduce the time and temperature required in processing to obtain a leach resistant product, thus mal<ing suitabie previously unsuitable low temperature melting and low temperature sof~ening webs such as polyproytene and polyethylene.
l 6 ll ~Tra~~n~7 k ~393s Case 2782 Furthermore, by adding an organic titanate catalyst, the problem of ¦ binding the silicone quaternary amine to a surface that has no OH
Functionality, such as polypropylene, is avoided.
If a polyproylene or polyethylene substratle is used, the bath preferably further comprises a wetting agent for the fibers, such as isopropanol.
If alcohol and water repeliency are desired properties of tlhe fabric, then the bath preferably further comprises a fluorocarbon repellent with an optional fluorocarbon extender. The fluorocarbon repellent component is typically a dispersion of fluoropolymer in water.
, The fluorocarbon repellent component may be selected from a host of commercially available products Including 3M's FC-824, FC-831 and FC-461 and DuPont's Zepel K, Zepel RN, ~epel RS and Zonyl NWF.
One will select a fluorocarbon component that is compatible wi~h the system, i.e. the other bath components and processing conditions, is economical and provkles the required alcohol repellency. As the fluorocarbon component is more expensive than the waxlresin fluorocarbon extender described below, it is desirable to use the smallest amount of the more expensive component as possible.
The wax/resin component is well known in the art as a fluorocarbon extender. These materials are typically available in ~mulsions with a cationic or nonionic emulsifier. ~uitable wax/resin fluorocarbon extenders commerclally available include: Aerotex Repellent 96 a water dispersible wax resin containing reactive I nitrogenous compounds available from American Cyanamid; Norane 193, a high molecular weight hydrophobic resin wax complex, and Norane 88, ¦ both available from Sun Chemical Company; and Nalan W~a thermosetting resin condensate and Nalan GN, a polymer wax 'rf~rr~
. .
Case 2782 i:~6393~ii dispersion, both available from DuPont. The wax/resin extender provides the finshed fabric with the water repellency desired, serves to stabilize the silicone quaternary amine presenf. in -the bath and of course, allows for a reduction in the amount of the more expensive fluorocarbon repellent component.
When a fluorocarbon repellent component is added to the bath, other materials besides the fluorocarbon extender, such 3S sodium acetate, citric acid, Avitex 2153 obtained from DuPont, or Synthrapol ~ KB~obtained from DuPont, can be added to the bath in order to stabilke the bath.
A minor amount of monovalent salt, typically sodium chloride, may be added to the bath In order to enhance the antistatic property of the finished fabric. Suitable salts include sodium dihydrogen phosphate and sodium chloride; divalent salts such as calcium chloride should not be used. The salt when present in the finish accepts moisture from the surrounding atmosphere and readily ionizes, thus enhancing the antistatic properties of ~he fabric. The required amount of salt is dissolved in water and then added to the bath.
The fabric produced in accordance with the present invention will 1 be bioactive, leachable only to the extent of at most 0.2 ppm from a 8 inch by 11 inch swatch, and if water and alcohol repellency is a desired quality, will be water repellant as rneasured by at least a 45 minute test value and preferably a one hour test value according to the mason jar l test.
